Initiating new workflow and assigning workflow tasks

[alf_test]

Hi,

    I am into an application development that uses grail as front end and alfresco 3.4 as the CMS.I am very new to alfresco.We want to initiate work-flow,assign work flow at grails end and post it to alfresco.Though there are possible mechanisms like web-scripts ,we don't want to intervene much with the web scripts for work-flow.Wanted to know,if posting of new work-flow,assignment of task can be done through REST or similar mechanism in version 3.4? or if there exists any alternate mechanism..

Thanks

Web scripts are Alfresco mechanism for building REST services. There are quite a few out of the box. You can write your own.

Thanks for replying..However we dont want webscript to be part of solution as it means customization at the alfresco end .I am looking for alternatives out here.Is it possible to expose WorkflowService as a remote service? i am yet to understand why alfresco is not making workflow service as a remote service or why the REST post part is not implemented so far.Is anybody has any clue?
Thanks
